Birch Press Design Flora Plate and Make a Wish Cards…

March 24, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Yikes, it’s Thursday already! I almost didn’t buy this NEW Saltwater Taffy ink color! I caved and bought regular, regular refill and oxide. Sometimes I think I need the sprays but maybe I could make a spray with the refill if I needed to make a mess! haha

I used the ink pad to color my cardstock. Hammermill Color Copy Smooth 100# Cover is what I used for all the parts of this card. I use it some for copic coloring too.

I inked up two A2 panels, one with Saltwater Taffy and one with Abandoned Coral regular distress and blending brushes and or tools. Then I did three smaller pieces with Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral and Bundled Sage. You can pretty much tell what I die cut with what from my pictures.

I die cut the leaves in the same white from the NEW Memory Box Layered Impatiens die set and inked them up also. I love these leaves!

The flowers were the waste from cutting layer A, they were white so I inked them too.

It’s a really pretty, feminine color and card in real life! I had to add some pinkish Memory Box Fairy Jewels to the flower centers.

I made this next card first to get a feel of how the layers looked together. I hadn’t planned on finishing it at first because, weird colors! lol Not Spring at all but I like it so I’m gonna throw one picture of it on here! lol

This is the Flora Plate layers AB and C again with a sentiment from the NEW Birch Press Design Kind Hearts stamp set. This is such a gorgeous set! I love it for front and inside sentiments.

Holler if you have any questions! Both cards are A2 size.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Slimline Card…

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends…I’m so glad I can grow flowers with paper! I had fun die cutting and layering these together. There are marks on the cuts so you know where to put the layers! WOW! That helps so much! I use Tombow Mono Multi glue. My tip for using it is to keep the container laying down at all times. Do you have any tips to share for gluing? I’d love to hear them!

I cut a cardbase, 7 x 8 ½ inches and scored the 7 in side at 3 ½ inches for this Slimline Card.

I die cut a white cardstock panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim die set.

Hello is diecut in the NEW Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock with the Birch Press Design Hello Topper die. I didn’t use the backer that comes with it but I need to, it’s cool!

The NEW Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour Layers I die cut with four of the Memory Box cardstock 6×6 pads. I was brave with color today! lol

I also used the NEW Birch Press Design Tiny Tuft Flowers and Leaves Contour Layers die set. Die cut in the same cardstock colors.

I used mounting tape behind the roses and everything else is glued directly to the panel.

My pictures feel huge but I sized them 200 pix smaller than I usually do. eek! lol I hope they show up on your screen ok! The first four are the same size as the card when I hold the card up to my computer screen.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying this touch of Spring! It’s supposed to get up to 70˚ here today! YAY! ttul!

Memory Box Enchanting Poppy Stems Card…

March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hello! I had the urge to make more of a pastel card yesterday but I also wanted to use the Nested Globes die set and make a shape card.

Well, a long the way, it ended up that the shape, cut to have a fold at the top, from white cardstock that opens to reveal the message inside. Then I decided to mount it on an A2 Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die cut from one of the lightest greens in the Memory Box Lush Green 6×6 cardstock pad.

Fun for a change! I stamped the ‘thank you’ sentiment from the NEW Birch Press Design Kind Hearts stamp set. It’s a gorgeous stamp set! I used Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide for this in the MISTI, inked and stamped 3 or 4 times.

I used the smallest Nested Globes die to stamp ‘Hello’ on. The HELLO stamp is from the Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath stamp set.

I die cut the Memory Box NEW Enchanting Poppy Stems from a white cardstock that has a little bit of texture. Then I inked the pieces with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink for the leaves and stems. I inked the poppies with Altenew Cotton Candy Ink and then a little bit of Taylored Expressions Lavender Glaze ink. It’s tricky getting the right pink to match the plaid paper. I hope I got close! lol

I added a video directly from my phone, I wish they let me change the size but this is all I get for my money!

I die cut the plaid from the Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim paper pad and edged the cut with the same Shabby Shutters Distress ink. Regular Distress ink.

Basically a very non traditional poppy! I will have to do a red one next time!

Last week I posted the poppystamps Grand Whittle Pig card and after I got to thinking it’d make a cute shape card to be used on a gift! So here’s a quick snapshot of how that turned out when I tried it. Cute! oink!

Sure you could ‘doll’ it up too! How about a red bandana at the neck! lol

Another quick video…

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll be back tomorrow with a Birthday card!

Birch Press Design Adornment Peony Card…

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi friends and papercrafters! A CAS card to share with you today.

Inlaid die cutting with Birch Press Design’s New Adornment Peony die. I die cut the flower in white and ink blended Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink on the flower petals and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Oxide inks on the leaves with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes. This is an awesome set…the solid dies for backing the die piecing parts is in included!

I die cut the top panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles Die set.

I stamped the sentiment from the poppystamps Diamond Sentiments clear stamp set with Peacock Feathers Oxide ink in the MISTI.

I added a scatter of several Memory Box Clear Fairy Drops.

It’s lighter, pinker than my pictures show. ugh. I tried. lol

It’s unusually warm here so far today…55˚ but suppose to go down to 12˚ before the day is over! eek! Guess I’ll stay in and keep working.

NEW Dies/cards on the horizon!
